See consultant pathFour analytical views of your materiality.
Every DMA produces four parallel analyses, all automatically generated from your inputs. No spreadsheets, no rebuilds, no version control headaches.
List of matters
Color-coded grid of all 10 ESRS topics and sub-topics, showing which are flagged for impact or financial materiality across own operations, upstream and downstream.
Score
Quantified impact, financial and stakeholder materiality scores per topic, rolled up across the value chain. RAG-coded for executive reporting.
Materiality importance
Side-by-side impact and financial materiality bars for each topic and sub-topic. Toggle between actual and potential, and between short, medium and long-term horizons.
Engage stakeholders
Binary materiality voting from Customers, Suppliers and Employees. Aggregated with weighted scoring and surfaced alongside your own assessment for triangulation.
From scope to audit-ready report in five steps.
Guided workflow aligned to ESRS 1 Chapter 3 and EFRAG IG 1. Built-in progress tracking keeps the audit committee and your auditor on the same page.
Scope & introduction
Define scope, methodology and governance approach. Embedded ESRS 1 guidance at every step.
List of matters
Tick which topics arise as potentially material across own operations, upstream and downstream.
Assess each IRO
Score negative, positive, risk and opportunity across scale, scope, remediability, magnitude and likelihood.
Analyse
Four parallel views: list, score, materiality importance, and stakeholder engagement.
Report & verify
Generate an audit-ready DMA report and submit it to your auditor for verification.
Defensible scoring by ESRS design.
Negative impacts scored on scale, scope and remediability per ESRS 1 §43. Positive impacts on scale and scope. Risks and opportunities on magnitude and likelihood. Every score has a time-horizon dimension: short, medium or long.
(Scale + Scope + Remediability) / 3 for negative impacts; (Scale + Scope) / 2 for positive. No manual arithmetic.
Short (0–1 yr), medium (1–5 yr), long (>5 yr). Configure each separately or inherit from a group.
Upload supporting files directly to each IRO. Comment threads with @mention, auditor view and version history.
Excluded topics require a stated reason per ESRS 1 §31. The system captures it, not a separate tracker.

Which standards and frameworks does the platform follow?
The platform is aligned to ESRS 1 AR 16 (sustainability matters taxonomy), ESRS 1 Chapter 3 (double materiality) and EFRAG IG 1 (materiality assessment implementation guidance). Scoring logic and disclosure requirements follow the Simplified ESRS as amended by Directive (EU) 2026/47. Voluntary VSME reporting is supported for SMEs outside mandatory CSRD scope.
How is it actually free?
The full DMA platform is free forever — all ten ESRS topics, all three value-chain dimensions, all three time horizons, evidence library, auditor role, report generation and verification workflow. No feature limits, no per-seat fees, no trial expiry.
Paid implementation support is an optional add-on for organisations that want expert-led scoping, audit-committee briefing packs or team training — priced per engagement, not per subscription.
How does impact vs financial materiality work in practice?
Impact materiality captures the effect your undertaking has on people and environment, scored on scale, scope and remediability (for negative impacts) or scale and scope (for positive). Financial materiality captures sustainability-related matters that could materially affect financial position, performance or cash flows, scored on magnitude and likelihood.
A topic is material if either dimension is material — the platform runs both assessments in parallel, for every topic, across own operations, upstream and downstream, across three time horizons.
Can my auditor work in the platform?
Yes. The platform has a dedicated auditor role with comment threads, version history and a submit-for-verification workflow. Auditors can review evidence, flag items for revision and sign off sections directly in the platform. A full change log is maintained for assurance purposes.
How is stakeholder engagement handled?
The platform includes a binary voting workflow for three primary stakeholder groups: Customers, Suppliers and Employees. Each group votes material / no-material per topic per value-chain segment. Results are aggregated, weighted and surfaced alongside your own assessment in the Engage stakeholders view for triangulation.
For more structured engagement (workshops, structured interviews), our Implementation Support add-on includes engagement design.
What’s the difference between signing up on GIG, OpenES or Azimut?
Same platform, same features, same free tier regardless of entry point. Choose the channel closest to your existing workflows — GIG direct for the fastest path, OpenES if you already use that marketplace for sustainability tooling, Azimut for asset managers and fund strategies already on the Azimut sustainable finance platform.
Is data portable if we want to export or move?
Yes. Every assessment can be exported in full — including IRO library, scoring, stakeholder votes, evidence references and report drafts — in standard formats (JSON, CSV, PDF). No data lock-in, no paywall on export.
How it stacks up against the old way.
Most undertakings still run DMAs in spreadsheets or outsource to consultants. Each approach has trade-offs. These comparisons break them down honestly.
